Yes…as a matter of fact, Jesus does love Mr. Obama. Jesus died so that Mr. Obama could be given a chance at eternal life. If Mr. Obama had been the only person to ever walk the earth, and Mr. Obama was in need of a savior, Jesus would have come to pay the penalty of sin in Mr. Obama’s life. I am not going to argue about whether or not Jesus would have voted for Mr. Obama, because the election is over, and its not going to help anything.
We “pro-lifers” talk about respecting human life…in the womb and out of the womb. How many of us “respecters of human life” have not respected Barack Obama? You hypocrites! How can you claim to respect human life, and hate another human? Jesus says in the gospels (roughly paraphrased) that if anyone hates his brother, he has already murdered him in his heart. How many of us are guilty of murdering Mr. Obama in our thoughts? You can not claim to respect the sanctity of human rights and life and hate your brother.
I am not excusing Mr. Obama’s behavior…there is no reason to support some of the things he supports. As christians, we are under a responsibility to speak out against evil in the world, all while remembering that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against “powers and principalities” (wierd words that mean spiritual forces). As you speak against evil in the world, make sure you know what your real enemy is. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but God has sent his Son to bring life, and life abundantly.
What of your responsibility? Why should it really matter who the president is? Is Barack Obama going to stop YOU from doing what God wants you to do? Will abortions stop if God’s people do not take the time to care for the people who feel the need to have an abortion? Most mothers who choose to get an abortion are not “evil beings” who have no heart or soul. Mothers who have abortions are loved children of God who have gone astray, and WE do not go after them to save them.
Did you know that there are an estimated 130 million orphans worldwide? Do you care about them? They are children, babies even, that HAVE been given a chance at life. What sort of life do they have ahead of them? Who will protect them? What are YOU doing to help them? What are YOU doing to care for them? People will always choose to sin regardless of the laws that are in place in a country. Kindness, goodness, gentleness, against these things there IS NO LAW, and yet we neglect them. We sit on our butt watching TV while children sleep in the streets. We eat ice cream while they walk 5 miles for a glass of dirty water. We play video games were we pretend to shoot each other, while they are forced to really shoot each other.
Being politically active is a great thing, I wish more people would take voting more seriously. I hope that one daythe United States will elect a president that cares for widows, orphans, and aborted babies. The United States is STILL a government by the people, of the people, and for the people. When the people of the United States live a life above reproach, we will have leaders who are above reproach. When the people of the United States live like they care about orphans, widows, or aborted babies, we will have leaders who care about orphans, widows, and aborted babies.
Judgement is coming, for Mr. Obama, and for me. Will I choose to live my life in a way that honors God?
Stop blaming other people for the way YOU live.
